Questionnaire• Web based survey for PTW drivers

– 2 months: Feb.-Mar. 2014

– 636 questionnaire completed

• Structure

– Part 1: demographics + generic info about accidents involving PTW

– Part 2: specific questions about eCall for PTW (technical / functional, willingness to pay, privacy concerns)

• Dissemination through well-known motorcycle pilots (former RACC-sponsored pilots) Twitter accounts (Laia Sanz, Marc Márquez, Dani Pedrosa, …)

Additional information?

• Medical information for pilot and passenger

• Biometrical information during the accident

• Accident reconstruction, black box

• Meteorological conditions during the accident

Questionaire. Conclussions

• Level of acceptance of eCall service for P2Wers

– Large majority like to have eCall in motorcycles

– Slightly smaller proportion would change their helmet to have the full functionality of the system

– Users are receptive to pay for aftermarket devices

• On the expectations of users:

– Motorists expect a high functionality from the eCall service for motorcycles

– Expects Additional features (sending of personal data and medical history of the driver and passenger, etc.).

Test plan

• Phase 1. Accident detection

– IVS accident detection (4) + helmet severity index evaluation (10)

– Delayed by championship organizer injury

– Initialized in July 2014

– Few accidents results

• Phase 2. Global architecture

– Laboratory test with PSAP emulator

– Test with DGT PSAP

8

Phase 1. Implementation

• 10 helmets equipped with the impact sensors delivered to “Cuna de Campeones” Race School on 10th of June, 2014.

• Instructions on how to use the helmets were provided to the School in order to make sure every user will handle the helmets in an appropriate way not to lose any single accident data collection.

• Additional accident detection system was equipped in 4 motorcycles.

9

Accident detection. IVS

• In july 4 motorbikes were equipped with the accident detection system.

• No accident detected

1st accident results

• The track grip was too low

• Motorbike sliced on a curve

• The helmet did not impact on the circuit

• Any measurement could not be registered from helmet sensors

14

2nd accident

• Caused by pilot inattention on a curve

• Motorbike expelled the rider above the handlebar and felt down impacting with the head on the floor

• The impacted floor was a gravel trap

• Helmet shell and visor were scratched

• NZI analysed the protective padding. It was not affected at all

• The helmet impact detection electronics did not register any event. Low energy transmitted to the pilot

Conclussions & Comments

• Questionnaire gives important results about user acceptance and aftermarket system price

• Accident detection test didn’t provide sufficient accidents for obtaining validation results

– Complementary measurements are needed

– More systems installed in more races

• Complete test results KPIs and success are similar to car ones

• An extended MSD has been proposed for P2W
